| Do employers see you the way you see yourself? |
Today’s job seekers need to spend the time to make sure that our professional resumes can get by the Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), which is the software that reads your resume and ranks it according to keywords.
Today about 65% of medium to large companies are now using Applicant Tracking Systems and this has created a nightmare for job seekers.
In fact, a recent study indicated that about 75% of qualified job seekers are being eliminated because they do not know the rules.
This Thursday we'll share some of the do’s and don'ts with the usual treats and beverages. Bring your resume on a thumb drive, as we’ll broach other topics to do with resumes.
